$1,000 to be appropriated as a above in
Dictated. The petition was readily sign

Of the real property Of the city as re-
CURED by law, and adequate protection
from fire, which has never heretofore
been enjoyed in this city, may now be
said to be fairly assured. The present
fire company being an independent
company, it becomes necessary to place

desired aid can be secured.
The company have, besides S350.00
cash in the treasury, a lot on Crook
street, valued at $500, hooks, ladders,
buckets, fire bell, wagon etc, aggregat-

warrens District.

Inc ABOVE ulStTlCt NnlCI ia now COM
ing into prominence by reason Of it's
promising tin deposits, is attracting
much more attention at this time than
all other Custer tin districts combined.
Owners Of claims who prior to the recent
visit of eastern capitalists had not seen
their claims since last fall, are now,
under the inspiration induced by a pros
pectivc sale of one of the prominent
bonanza's of that camp, giving them
special attention, and should the inter
est recently manifested in the develop
ment Of these claims continue to in
crease, which is quite probable, and
their merits become fairly established,
it is a safe presumption hat the district
will, during the present year, attain 10 a
degree of celebrity unsurpassed by any
other within the limits Of the Black
Hills, or possibly Of the world. The
possibilities Of this district are practic-
ally Unreasonable, and We predict large.
ly increased activity and surprising
developments in that locality during the
presen. season.
The election at Buffalo Gap on Mon
day, where there was two tickets in the
field, and where a lively contest was
made for the Office of marshal, had the
effect of bringing out the full vote Of the
town. Notwithstanding the opinion, as
expressed here by a number of resi-
dents of that place, that Is or 20 votes
would cover the voting population of
that city, it now transpires that no less
than % votes were mustered on tnis
important occasion. lnasmuch as il is
now evident that in case Of Custer having
two tickets in the field, thus insur-
ing the polling of a full vote, and there
by contributing further to the News
mans humiliation whose ideas of the
city Of great area" are so extremely
contracted, it was especially fortunate
for him that Custer had no contest,

type which might have resulted dis
~astrously. We trust that the N. m. will
lose no time in f%ortifying himself against
any serious surprises in this direction
in the future.
The great area" town has been mildly
heard from, and Notwithstanding the
fact Of her being beyond the range of
the locomotive whistle, which falls with
such inspiring rapture upon the delight
ed ears Of the expectant denizens of
sister towns, she keeps we'll in advance,
and it will be a day we'll adapted to the
wearing Of buffalo o%vercoats, and the
furriest of fur collars, when she essays
the humiliating role Of playing second
fiddle in the grand march Of final
supremacy.

A CRUEL MURDER.
ARREST OF SUPPOSE MURDERER.
TREATS OF LYNcHINa.
A Widow Woman Butchercd IN Cold
Blood In Open Day Light in ballard
County, Ky.

Mr.. j. M. Burney, who is the
brother of the sheriff Of Ballard Co.,
who has just returned from that coun-
ty informs us that about two miles
north of HinkleviIle, a widow woman
by the name of Mrs. Moore was
struck on the head with a hickory
club, her skull broken and her
throat cut, it was supposed with q
butcher knife, which was found lying
by the side of the corpse on Saturday
week. The murder occurred in broad
open day light at her own house. A
trunk belonging to her was broken
open and $lSO.0O taken from it..
Detective Officer James Query, of
Paducah, on last Sunday morning, ar
rested Ivan Shelby, white man sup
posed to be about thirty years old on
suspicion of the murder. Shelby was
respectfully connected and his arrest
created the most intense excitement.
Reports reaching the town that moo
was organizing to lynch Shelby, Mr..
j. X. Burney, Sheriff. stationed a
strong guard at the Jail the court
house at Wicklifie, and the Office
West Bugg the attorney employed to
defend Shelby. During the night
two men rode through Wickliffe,
and cluded the Sheriff refusing to
answer when hailed, and it was said
that a mob Of fifty men was in the
outskirts of the town. They were
probably deferred from making any
attack by the precautions taken by
the Sheriff. A reward of $1,000 had
been offered for the murderer, one
half by the relatives of the deceased
lady, and the other half by the gov.
ernor of the state. Mrs. Moore was
highly respected by her neighbors
and threats have been made OF lynch
ing the murderer, and if Shelby
proves the guilty party, as it is gen
orally supposed he will, his life viii
not be worth nickle, if the moi
should ever lay their hands on him
